Here are the results after a full-length glass-bed on the .375 into a new stock chiseled out to my dimensions, made by the famous Kolhapur mistry, American Black Walnut was choice of furniture. Printed at 11 o'clock are three RWS 300-grain factory loads shot with iron sights at a lasered 65 yards and below at 6 o'clock are four RWS 300's with the scope clamped on, its an old Zeiss 6x42 on claw-mounts, since the German 3-post cross-hair covers up much of the black "+" at that range, the hold used is 6 and I've set her to POA, the one flyer in the centre was courtesy of a friend who's never fired a gun, needless to say he was thrilled to bits at having poked the "+" dead-centre on the first try!
The next pic taken on a camera phone (please excuse my photography) was out of a set-trigger 7x57 Brno Mod 21-h belonging to a friend that was oil-finished and glassed-in (full-length) the three fliers are the result of a three round rapid-fire session with open sights using old Kynoch 174-grain softs that were used to warm up the barrel!
the other three are fresh 139-grain RWS factory loads shot again at 65 yards with a new Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 set at 5x, I love the RWS stuff!
Cheers!

"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch. IX)
